A New York man who was suspected of using a stolen credit card is going to be spending the next couple of years behind bars, but not for anything having to do with theft or fraud. Instead, 50-year old Joel Anzalone was sentenced to three years in state prison on Thursday on a charge of attempted criminal possession of a gun.
What’s odd about this case is that Anzalone wasn’t actually armed when he was arrested. Instead, as officers were in a Buffalo department store reviewing surveillance footage, trying to spot the suspect using the credit card, which had been discovered in a stolen vehicle the day before, Anzalone walked back in to the store. Since he matched the description of the suspect in the surveillance footage, officers attempted to take him into custody.
